Surviving aircraft
Two aircraft that served with
NJG 3 are displayed together at the
Royal Air Force Museum London, one of the two sites of the Royal Air Force Museum. These are
Messerschmitt Bf 110 G Werk Nr. 730301, which was surrendered to the British at the end of the war in 1945, and
Junkers Ju 88 R-1, Werk Nr. 360043,[2] which came into British hands in 1943. Both aircraft are almost unique - each is one of only two intact survivors of their type.
